I come to Salon to have my world-view completely and unquestioningly upheld. How dare you publish something that doesn't fit into my view of left-wing orthodoxy? By not paying for something that you can get for free anyway, I'm making a bold statement and not, as it may appear to a rational observer, engaging in intellectual masturbation in a public forum. Manjoo is obviously a right-wing hack becuase only a right-wing hack would disagree with a conspiracy theory that me and all my friends down at the independent book store/coffee shop know is true. From now on I'll be keeping my online activities only to DU where I can be sure that I'll never have the horrible misfortune of being confronted with something I don't agree with.
